Summary
RR No. 26-2025 amends the transitory provisions of RR No. 11-2025 to extend the compliance period for electronic invoice issuance by covered taxpayers.
Key points
- Deadline to comply. Four groups have until December 31, 2026 to comply with electronic invoicing: e-commerce or internet transaction taxpayers classified as Small, Medium and Large (Micro Taxpayers are exempted); taxpayers under the Large Taxpayers Service; Large Taxpayers under RA No. 11976 and RR No. 8-2024; and taxpayers using Computerized Accounting System, Computerized Books of Accounts with e-invoicing, and other invoicing software.
- Later e-invoicing groups. Once a system able to store and process the data for the BIR is established, separate Revenue Regulations will require e-invoicing from: exporters under Sections 106 and 108, except those under Section 3(A)(4) of RR No. 11-2025; Registered Business Enterprises under Section 304(D), with the same exception; taxpayers using a POS System; and others the Commissioner requires.
- Electronic Sales Reporting System. When such a system exists, separate Revenue Regulations will mandate Electronic Sales Reporting System compliance for the same eight groups, including the e-commerce, LTS, Large Taxpayer, CAS and CBA, exporter, RBE and POS taxpayers.
- Further extension. The Commissioner may extend the deadlines or the transition period if deemed necessary.
